Hi all I got a aspire XC605 small pc. I installed a i5 4460 and 8 gigs of brand new ram amd installed windows 10 home in it.
First thing I noticed was after entering the bios and hitting the save and restart option the computer attempts to restart. I see the hard drive light activity but no video. I also have the same thing happen when I restart from windows I see the resarting message and the it shuts off screen goes black but never comes back on. It looks like it starts but no video.
Another symptom is when the pc goes to sleep video will not come back on. It does seem like it wakes up cause the hard drive activity light starts blinking again.
I wonder if this is a hardware issue with the video cause I have also tried to install a dedicated gpu but I will not get video from the card. Again it looks like the pc is working properly but no video.
I have tried a gt 220 with a dedicated fan and the fan does turn on but no video from the gpu or the motherboard video.
I also tried a 5450 but again same symtoms.
I have tried changing bios settings to default.
And have updated the bios to the latest on the acer site.
There is no option in bios to change igpu to gpu .
